When the Beagle 2 landed on 25 December 2003, Vanessa routed all signals to her laptop, causing her fellow employees to assume the landing was a failure. Using the holidays as an excuse to leave early, she then handed over the laptop to Getas. Getas subsequently thanked her by having a man from Abstergo's Lineage Discovery and Acquisition division kidnap her, after she had mentioned she was actually descended from Charles Darwin.

Trivia

The Beagle 2 was believed to have crashed until 16 January 2015, when HiRISE imagery revealed the probe had landed on Mars, and that it had only partially deployed its equipment.
